The biggest hack in the history of Bitcoin


Bitcoin Wallet Silk Road
this is probably the largest hack in the history of Bitcoin, since the balance of coins was 69,369  BTC  in terms of dollars, the amount exceeded more than  $1 billion .

This notorious bitcoin wallet  1HQ3Go3ggs8pFnXuHVHRytPCq5fGG8Hbhx  was tied to a darknet marketplace that was closed in 2013 and its creator, Ross Ulbricht, received a double life sentence without the possibility of parole.


In 2019, an encrypted wallet.dat file was distributed on profile hacker forums  , which could be associated with this wallet, but three years have passed since 2019, and the truth is slowly emerging that a lattice attack  "LATTICE ATTACK" was applied to the hack .

In the last issue, we published a more detailed video titled  "One weak transaction in ECDSA on the Bitcoin blockchain and with the help of Lattice Attack we received a Private Key to BTC coins"

If you dig into the transactions of the Bitcoin wallet  1HQ3Go3ggs8pFnXuHVHRytPCq5fGG8Hbhx  , you can see something interesting.


To do this, we decided to supplement our research in this area.

This video was created for the  CRYPTO DEEP TECH portal  to ensure the financial security of data and secp256k1 elliptic curve cryptography against weak ECDSA signatures in the BITCOIN cryptocurrency
